Dear community,
Since a few days my printer HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M280nw starts calibrating whenever I turn the printer on. What can I do to avoid this?
Thanks in advance

Calibrating once in a while is an important function to make sure that the quality of the prints keeps optimal. There should be another Workaround, I think ...

You can run a manual calibration if you notice misalignment, and the printer will calibrate automatically after any toner cartridge is replaced.

My problem is: the prints are perfect but the printer starts calibrating whenever I turn the printer on.

When you want to run calibration you can start it manually.

Sorry, that is not my way how to solve problems. There must be a reason why the printer suddenly starts calibrating on a daily base after three years.

Possible reasons why after several years of using the printer goes to calibration are: dirty registration sensor, defective toner, worn out transfer belt, DC controller defective, dirty transfer roller.
